Academics

Courses are sometimes shared with Corvallis High School. Students taking courses at the partner school ride an approximately 15 minute bus to attend shared classes. Examples of such courses offerings from past years include AP Physics (offered at CHS and shared until 2010) or AP Environmental Science (offered at CV) as well as Orchestra (at CV).

In 2008, 79% of the school's seniors received their high school diploma. Of 243 students, 192 graduated, 39 dropped out, 1 received a modified diploma, and 11 are still in high school.

In 2010, a student at the school was honored as a Presidential Scholar, one of three from Oregon. There have been two other Presidential Scholars from this school in the last ten years.
